10/5/08 Ah Yellowstone ... (by Wesley Aston)--always amazed at how many people don't care about much of anything in Yellowstone except the wildlife; it seems that Yellowstone suits a million types of people (geyser gazers, fishers, animal watchers, birders, hikers/climbers, road bikers, and on and on), but it seems unfortunately rare that people appreciate it all).

10/2/08 Park officials reverse course, will craft temporary use plan for '08-'09 (by Yellowstone Insider)--politics has led conservation groups not to go for jugular on a quiet Yellowstone, and so I expect also we'll see a limit of about 290 snowmobiles this winter--which will overall lower the numbers a little--along with allowing snow coaches (which have been heavily pushed by these groups, though I find the way they are managed objectionable on other grounds)
